THERE is good prospect of a fine
drive being opened from Fourth Street
to Ogden Canyon in the near future.
The beauties of such drive would add
q wonderful attraction to our city and

drive. By all means let the good work
be contaminated.

SAID an experienced business man
of the East recently: If the. United
States government wonld pay Pool
Commissioner Fink salary of $50, 200
year and permit him to select his own
subordinates and turn the management
of the railroads over to him, more good
could be accomplished in year than
can be done in. 100 years under the
interstate commerce law and its
commission. Mr.. Fink has more rail-
road brains than any other one man in
the country.
The railroads OF the United States
employ about 200 general traffic man
ayers, paying them sa aries of from
SIS, 900 to $50, 900 each, per year. Under
the interstate commerce law, the
United States employs five men at
salaries of $500 each, per year. The
200 railroad employees have been edu-
Gated in the business, while the COM
missioners are taken from other avoca-
tions The traffic managers have spent
a lifetime in studying railroad business
the commissioners have studied law or
something else. Is it strange the law
has failed?
